Analytical Data
Wine Production
Sourcing and selection of grapes, musts and juices. Separate vinification of each selected batch. After a pre-fermentation cold maceration to enhance colour intensity and fresh fruit, the individual plots are then vinified separately at a moderate temperature to preserve their character and aromatic freshness. Vatting ends with a post-fermentation hot maceration to refine the tannins and develop the texture.
About the Vineyard
The mainly south-facing vines benefit from maximum sunshine and are planted on clay-limestone soils in 3 different areas: the foothills of the Montagne Noire (Minervois), at the foot of the Cévennes (in the north of the Gard département) and in the upper Aude valley.
